Learn how the gospel applies to all of life

The Atlanta City Fellows is a holistic nine-month program where you'll experience discipleship, training, and service—

all within the context of community.

Develop professionally through a part-time paid internship

Learn how to add value to an organization, think strategically, and cultivate your own talents in a professional setting.

See the gospel lived out

at home by living with

a host family

As a Fellow, you'll live with a host family, learning to live day-to-day with a Christ-centered family who chooses to share life with you— through the good times and the hard, from the excitement of birthdays to the drudgery of dishwashing.

Experience authentic community and discipleship alongside other Fellows

Each week the Fellows will meet together for Roundtable, a community-building time of fellowship and sharing, giving Fellows a chance to process their experience together. Male and female Fellows will also meet in separate groups each week with a discipleship leader.

Cultivate a Christian worldview and theology of work through seminary courses

Discover the redemptive narrative of Scripture and learn how to engage culture with a Kingdom mindset through two accredited courses at Reformed Theological Seminary.  

Serve and worship in

a local church

Over the course of the program you'll learn, love, and experience the importance of being connected to the local church, the bride of Jesus. Fellows commit to weekly worship each Sunday at City Church Eastside (PCA) of Atlanta, as well as serving in the youth ministry. 

Learn from a gospel-

fluent mentor

As a Fellow you'll be given a Christian mentor who will meet with you regularly. Mentors are spiritually-mature adults who have demonstrated living out their faith in the marketplace. Mentors will encourage and challenge you to consider how God is at work in your life. They will share from their own experience, both learned and lived. 

Serve the city together

As a group, Fellows will "seek the peace of the city" by serving weekly in a local organization partnered with Desire Street Ministries. 

Discover your calling through workshops + assessments

Within the context of community, discover the intersection between your greatest passions and the world's greatest needs through workshops and assessment tools like the Enneagram and the Highlands Ability Battery. 

Learn, connect, and grow through retreats and conferences

As a Fellow, you'll participate in two conferences along with other Fellows programs from around the country. In addition, Atlanta Fellows will participate in opening, and closing retreats, a mission trip to Jackson, Mississippi, and a silent retreat at a monastery.

Get counseling, learn how to rest, and have fun

A few things that make the Atlanta City Fellows program unique from other Fellows programs:

• Monthly Christian counseling through The Rest Initiative

• Monthly learning tours of local ministries and organizations

• Workshop on rest and sabbath

• 5-day mission trip to We Will Go Ministries in Jackson, MS

• A 3-day silent retreat at a monastery

​

Oh yeah, and as a Fellow you'll get to experience fun stuff like floating down the Chattahoochee, going to an Atlanta Hawks game, hiking in North Georgia, and much more.
